Quality of Life

Nazareth Borough is known for its hard-working, resourceful people who are dedicated to providing their families with a secure and satisfying "quality of life". The notable sense of pride in homes, properties, and business establishments throughout the Borough exudes the benefits of a small village found in close proximity to both thriving urban centers and attractive rural settings.

Our community leaders have worked steadily to maintain economic stability and growth. Their commitment to preserving the special qualities and heritage of the area give confidence to those who are considering investments in real estate or business ventures. The downtown retail section of the Borough is making every effort to attract entrepreneurs seeking a supportive, stable environment with potential for economic success. In addition, the Nazareth Area School District has received state and regional recognition for its exemplary academic and athletic programs. Homebuyers are quick to put Nazareth high on their lists of most desirable locations.

Nazareth consistently demonstrates strong support and dedication to its children. Sports teams, musical groups, recreational programs and youth organizations draw impressive funding and attendance levels. Residents speak with pride about the strengths of their schools and the resultant accomplishments of district graduates.

Volunteer time, effort and resources play major roles in keeping Nazareth a most attractive and interesting place in which to live, work, visit or shop. Civic, service and business organizations are equally generous with their time and resources. Additionally, they provide many of the social, recreational and cultural events that are held throughout the year, such as Nazareth Day, and various craft fairs, parades and block parties.

A key support role in the community is filled by its many religious organizations. They reach out to their neighbors through local food banks, discreet aid to those in need, and enthusiastic participation in area-wide events and projects. Nazareth is known for its "colonial hospitality" which also includes a deep respect for the privacy and well being of each of its citizens.
